Can Global Financial Markets Manage Climate Risk?
<p>Global financial markets are constantly factoring in risks, such as cyber threats and the current pandemic. But is there something special about climate change that market participants are only starting to understand?</p> <p>This episode of LaSalle Street explores the challenge of climate change risk, including whether the emerging risk is being properly priced into financial markets and if risk-management strategies need to change to account for the complexity and projected duration of climate change. The discussion delves into key issues such as whether there should be a price on carbon and if corporate disclosures can play an essential role in managing climate risk.</p> <p>Robert Engle and Dick Berner, co-directors of the Volatility and Risk Institute at New York University (NYU) Stern School of Business, join Alessandro Cocco, vice president of the Financial Markets Group at the Chicago Fed. Engle is a professor emeritus of finance at NYU Stern and the recipient of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Economics. Berner is a clinical professor of management practice in the Department of Finance at NYU Stern. He served as the first director of the Office of Financial Research and chief or senior economist at Morgan Stanley, Mellon Bank, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.</p>

Climate Change, the Housing Market, and Systemic Stability
<p>LaSalle Street hosts a discussion on the potential effects of climate change on housing market values and whether such risks could impact systemic stability.</p> <p>Financial market participants are increasingly aware of climate risk, but a comprehensive risk-management approach to climate change risk has not been developed yet. In this episode, we discuss the potential effects of physical and transition risk on the housing market—and how that risk flows into financial markets through borrowers and lenders, investors, and insurers.</p> <p>Joining host Alessandro Cocco, vice president of the Financial Markets Group at the Chicago Fed, are Eric Hogue, risk specialist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Jesse M. Keenan, associate professor of real estate at Tulane University’s School of Architecture, and David Rodziewicz, senior economics specialist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.</p>
